Using Auxiliary Sample Frame Information for Optimum Sampling of Rare Populations

An Optimum Allocation with a Family of Estimators Using Auxiliary Information in Sample Survey

Effect of Measurement Errors on a Class of Estimators of Population Mean Using Auxiliary Information in Sample Surveys

 We consider the problem of estimation the population mean of the study variate Y in presence of measurement errors when information on an auxiliary character X is known. A class of estimators for population means using information on an auxiliary variate X is defined. Expressions for its asymptotic bias and mean square error are obtained. Optimum conditions are obtained for which the mean...

Exact Sampling Using Auxiliary Variables

Sampling for Area Estimation: A Comparison of Full-Frame Sampling with the Sample Segment Approach

The objective of this inVestigation was to evaluate the effect of sampling on the accuracy (precision and bias) of crop area estimates made from classifications of Landsat MSS data. Full-frame classifications of wheat and non-wheat for eighty counties in Kansas were repetitively sampled to simulate alternative sampling plans. Four sampling schemes involving different numbers of samples and diff...

Using Auxiliary Information to Adjust for Non-response in Weighting a Linked Sample of Administrative Records

Federal estate tax returns are a rich source of information on the assets and liabilities associated with decedents, as well as data on beneficiaries of estates. When linked with income tax data for the decedents and their beneficiaries, the resulting data base provides a unique opportunity to study a variety of important economic issues relating to the transfer of wealth and the accumulation o...
